Jobs and Internships

Internships and Course Credit

We encourage all of our students to experience at least one summer internship before they graduate. Internships in computer science are paid, and allow the student to gain hands-on experience in the field through a mentor.

Internships are competitive, and should be applied for by the student. Students should attend the Career Fairs each semester to hand out resumes and meet recruiters from local companies.

Students can take a 1-credit internship experience course during their internship. This course links the student to a faculty member in addition to their company mentor to help connect the internship experience to classroom experience.

An alternative to a summer internship that also increases a student’s knowledge about computer science is summer research.
